Countdown to Christmas: I’m running late

The cards are written and posted, to Australia and USA at the same time as the local ones.  I started early with knitted presents for the grand-daughters and little friends, but became complacent, and now I’m struggling over what to give the adults.  I’ve done no Christmas baking and making, as there’ll be no-one here but us two, but my conscience is pricking me.

I think there are other folk panicking over at Cate’s Place:  http://www.showmyface.com/

    I am just the opposite. All of the knitting is done. Now on to the baking which will be gifts for the adults around me.

    • My knitting is also done, and the pessimism of my post prodded me and I made a Christmas cake this afternoon. (Yes, I know it should have been done in October, but this is a different sort of Christmas cake) I also made some marzipan for stuffed dates which are one of my regular gifts to neighbours.

  8. I think lots of peope are a bit behind this year. I think for me it is because I kept thinking it was too soon to get started – and now it’s getting a bit late! 😉

    🙂 I feel for you, Viv. Seems like the whole world is running later and later. We are. Last year we didn’t get to send cards, we may miss again.
